Trust No One 03:00
The alarm rings so I change the time and go back to sleep. I do this every day I don't know why I don't know why I thought things would change. I had such high hopes but you always had other plans. It seems pointless to resist so I'm waving, I'm waving the white flag. When will you say that everything’s ok? When will I learn to trust you? When can I learn to trust you? I don't think I can ever trust you. The phone rings and it’s just one of my other friends. Haven’t heard from you in awhile and just want to know where we stand. You were special to me but sometimes life just interferes. But what I don't understand is why you why you couldn't tell me the truth When will you say that everything’s ok? When will I learn to trust you? When can I learn to trust you? When will the darkness finally fade away? When will I learn to trust you? When can I learn to trust you? I don't think I can ever trust you.

Cornered the market back in 92 everything young and nothing to lose A heart gone static or it's beating slow now given up on the radio And better than nothing Daisy-chained-riot couldn't rock this out looking back you can have your doubt if it's over, it's over, look out below revenge is sweet, it's sweet, sweet but slow It's better than nothing Last call to jump on the wagon route infinite demand for the authentic crowd The pulse falls silent, death from below Frontier on fire? whoever needs to know?

And the make-up wear the face down if you want it you can leave now Always made up never let down if you want to you can't leave now you can leave now Never made up always top down gift of plenty in your hands now Always made up never let down if you want to you can't leave now you can leave now Lying in wait, ride the face of some wave gone wrong Playing while you pay through the vein 'til the heartache's gone Always made up Always top down Never face it It's always fake now

Reflection 03:13
Old pictures scattered all over my living floor. Memories of the person I was before. Where’d she go? Seemed like only yesterday. So eager to grow. So many years have passed by since those days. Am I the person that I thought I’d turn out to be? Where’d she go? Seemed like only yesterday. So eager to grow. Where’d the time go, and when did I get so old? Where did she go? Why does it have to be this way? Where’d she go? Where’d I go?

see it clear from far away better vision the lens distorts you barrel, prism, refracted light will not matter into the night the things you made and love will haunt you ghosts of songwriting's past a permanence that lasts an empty vessel you're poured into shapeless form for housing, pointless painted and glued back out of place holy sign of inevitable decay the things you made and love will haunt you ghosts of songwriting's past a permanence that lasts ghosts of songwriting's past

A piece of the afternoon but I'm not ready to leave There's too much time at home and none of it's for me I want to, I don't can now it be past the end? But the bond of blood and blood spilled it hurts to pretend that I love you or you me When you're not here I'm not as lonely 'cause I've been thinking who will love me? and I've been dreaming someday, maybe Well I've been thinking that you'd love me And I've been dreaming about him lately 'cause I've been thinking who will love me? And I'm still dreaming someday, maybe

Corpus Christi and a headache for miles the disaster you can’t ignore Empty promises twice broken by the shift of magnetic North Standing in the way of the impending cavalcade It’s all you know, you know, you know, you know about me Highway tortoise, buckshot markers the pressure front on your mind Salted scars from deserts pasts now there’s condensation in the line

So come on down, everyone's ready, the car's still running outside, with the radio up too loud 'cuz we're driving, we're driving all night I've waited, I've waited, I've waited, I've waited.... knowing that things wouldn't change everything that I thought that I wanted now I can't even hear it the same. See you when you slip through the light All you lose is the rest of your life Teenage hearts are breaking tonight our teenage hearts are breaking tonight Come alone, November cold trees stripped bare and back then canceled plans declare "I'm never counting on them again" I've waited, I've waited, I've waited, I've waited.... playing with the record on low and the closest we'd ever be again is the needle on the stereo. See you when you slip through the light All you lose is the rest of your life Teenage hearts are breaking tonight our teenage hearts are breaking tonight Teenage hearts are breaking tonight...
